fix(sop-tier-check): script always exits 0 via SOP_FAIL_OPEN + step || true

Root cause: job-level `continue-on-error: true` is silently ignored by Gitea
Actions. When sop-tier-check exits 1 (no approvals), the job fails and blocks
all PRs regardless of burn-in settings.

Fixes:
1. sop-tier-check.sh: adds jq binary download + apt-get fallback at startup,
   isolated in a subshell so `set -euo pipefail` doesn't exit on failure.
2. sop-tier-check.yml "Install jq" step: `|| echo warning` ensures the step
   never fails even if both curl and apt-get fail. No `set -e`.
3. sop-tier-check.yml "Verify tier label" step: SOP_FAIL_OPEN=1 env + `|| true`
   on script invocation. The script always exits 0. The UI enforces the
   actual merge gate. Step-level `continue-on-error: true` as belt-and-suspenders.

Combined effect: CI never fails due to missing approvals or jq issues.
Gate status is reported via workflow annotations (::notice::/::error::).
The UI merge gate enforces approvals.
